    Brakes Gone

    Belt is still good as wel. I'm not sure where else in the system the vacume can go bad. It appears there is a block where there are about 4 hoses before it goes up into the booster. I'm guessing I could just pull the line on one side of the pump and see if there is a vaccume? If not I...

    Brakes Gone

    On my way home tonight my brakes just went out. Brake light came on and absolutly no brake booster power what so ever. About 15 mile earlier I had hear a loud pop...kinda like a rock comming up off the road somewhere near my engine compartment...I looked back in the mirror and saw nothing. I...

    Question Fuel Pump replacment

    Well I do not have a pulse dampner so that made life really nice. I can't beleive Ford was going to charge me 4-5 hours for this job. I can't beleive they charged someone 850 for this job. I never got an actual quote from them. I took my time and I did it in an hour. It only cost me the...

    Question Fuel Pump replacment

    I just heard that it might be a bit more of a pain if you I have a Cali truck....which of course I believe I do. Mentioned that I might have to take off the turbo becuase of the flying saucer. I thought the flying saucer was always the fuel pump itself. Is it the Bosh disc in the front of the...

    Brake Pads

    Ended up with some Autozone Cermaics...not to impressed really. I hear it is a pain in the butt to pull the rotors on these 4WD trucks. I need to turn them (Little scoring) and I don't want to put any more miles on the new pads with the bad front rotor. Also what size rear pads did the...

    Dyno Results..

    I say don't go to crazy. You have done a great job on your truck so far in such a short time. You are putting out some great numbers but I know how the need for more is addicting. Do what you can but don't risk trashing your engine. They say it is all part of the game but you have to take...

    Stok'n Stash...man you have come a long way on your truck...Awesome man. Glad to hear it is a relatively easy job. I don't want to spend more than a couple nights getting it running.

    Question Fuel Pump replacment

    I was looking for a write up for replacement of fuel pump but I found it hence the edit.....took me awhile. Anyway they (Dealership) have not given me a quote yet but I doubt I will be able to stomach it. Off the top of his head he quoted me 200 for the fuel pump and said it would take about...

    best mileage from a powerstroke

    Before I started running WVO and could keep track I got about 21 on the hwy as long as I kept it at 60-65. Empty of course and with a canopy. I remembered this article from awhile back from DP mag. Might help you squeeze another MPG out of your truck. Not sure if it is worth it to drive a...

    Brake Pads

    Autozone or Advanced auto parts it is then. There isn't any differences between the years or models (250-350) that I need to worry about is there. I know they have stuff wrong in their computer for our trucks all the time (Like windshield wipers for example)...Way to long. I found that out...

    Brake Pads

    I did a quick seach and didn't find what I was really looking for. I have 205K on my truck and I think stock pads. Anyway the last couple months they have started to squeak and the last few days it was screaming at me as I come thru the gate with my window down to change them. So just...

    Hard Decision!!

    Go performance. My buddy has lifted trucks and they are harder to drive the bigger tires are more expesive, much more wear on components that keep breaking, and you can't use the bed as you can't get anything up in there without giving yourself a hernia. I want one as well as they LOOK awesome...

    cps recall

    So here is the question I have. Mine just went out 6 months ago and I purchased 2 new ones at the time. One to put in and one to carry. Were they selling the "newer" version at that time or do I still have the same crap they had before? I noticed he mentioned grey and my caps are grey instead of...

    Now thats a Load

    Haha, That is pretty funny. But it was a 4 cyl so not even in the same league. It is going in another Ford...one much older so it better have some respect :). As far as the 55+ I agree with you. I drove about 50-55 the whole way home. Mosty 50 until someone behind me got ticked off and I...

    Now thats a Load

    I know I never have any useful tech info to put out there for people but I thought this was sorta interesting. I a bought step van (10,000lbs) for a cummins 4bt that I am swaping into my 56 Ford. I towed it home about 150 miles and the truck did pretty well. I was running 100% WVO the entire...

    200,000.0

    Wow!.. I need to set my sights a little higher then. Maybe 400K. Been running 100% biodiesel (starting to eat through my stock hoses) and 100% Veg since I've put my 50K miles on it in the last 3 years. Hopefully that is helping and not hurting but at 50K miles it doesn't seem to be doing much...

    200,000.0

    It was a beautiful sight driving this morning when I watched her turn over to 200K miles. Hopefully she will get another 100K miles out of her before anything major. :clap:

    Biodiesel in an 08 6.4???

    Holly Smokes!!! You must be putting around 10K miles a month on that thing. If you ran b100 (I'm dealing with the problem right now in my 97), I'm sure something small would eventually start to leak. But you would be ok for a long time I'm sure until you replaced it with viton. We get biodiesel...

    Leaking Fuel line

    Sweet Diggity Dog!! That is nice, just what we need...I guess. Those were definetly not on there when we took it off. How do they work or where exactly do they go? Maybe I will have to go take a pic and draw some pictures. I'm guessing they go just inside the fitting agains the back so as you...

    Leaking Fuel line

    That makes excellent sense. Yes we will be getting the correct replacement line. When we took it off there was not any rubber sleepves though. Is this an afterthough when they realized what they had barely worked?

    Leaking Fuel line

    Hello, My buddy has a 99 and he started running B100 a few weeks ago and developed a leak (me as well but different story later). His fuel IN line from the passanger side of the fuel filter runs down just over the V in the block and then to the front of the Drivers side Bank inbetween the...

    Tranny gave out

    Ok Good, I will not post my picture then as it looked just like that. I wonder if it is a possibility that I just happened to turn the converter just past it each time. I don't think it is but it might be a possibility. Anyone out there with a 97 know wheather or not they have a...
